Minnesota, USA: 47% Now Support Marriage Equality, 45% Opposed

Written by scott on January 24th, 2013

A new PPP poll of Minnesotans shows a plurality now supports marriage equality, by a 47 to 45 margin.

Fully 75 percent of Minnesotans (including 65 percent of Republicans) back at least allowing civil unions. PPP estimates that given the trend and the age demographics, a majority Minnesotans will likely support marriage equality by the next election.

In November, Minnesotans defeated a marriage inequality constitutional amendment, proposed by the then-Republican majorities in the state’s House and Senate, by a 51-47 margin.
